A few years ago in 1999, Hewlett Packard split into:
Hewlett Packard (computers and peripherals) and
Agilent (Test Equipment and analytical equipment)
Which then in turn then divested the RF semiconductor portion in 2005 to:
Avago. Now in 2014, Agilent is split again into Agilent (medical and scientific) and Keysight (test and measurement).

For added confusion,
The RF portion of Wavetek became Willtek Communications, which is now part of Aeroflex.
Prior to this, PMI/Pacific Measurements (Microwave Test Equipment) had been acquired by Wavetek, but those assets eventually wound up as part of Gigatronics (Microwave Test Equipment), who mercifully are still around.

Long time avionics icon IFR (Avionics Test Equipment) and test equipment maker Marconi (RF Test Equipment) both became part of Aeroflex (Electronic Systems and Test Equipment).

Semiconductor Company Name ChangesHaving trouble figuring out who is who these days? No surprise, there have been so many buy-outs, divestitures and mergers, it's hard to know who's who in the semiconductor zoo these days. Here's a list of some commonly sought after makers.
